Caramelised onion and chèvre tarte tatin

Naomi Sherman

Rich, sweet, caramelised onions are perfectly paired with the tanginess of a sophisticated vegan chèvre in this rather fancy tarte tatin.

Ingredients

SERVES: 4-6

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a 20cm oven-safe frying pan. Place the onions in the pan, cut side facing up. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes without moving the onions.
  3. Carefully turn the onions over so they are cut side down and then add the coconut balsamic dressing and rosemary to the pan. Season to taste, then cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, roll the vegan puff pastry out into a circle, approx. 30 cm in diameter. If you find that you have to roll it paper-thin to get that size, roll out a second sheet and layer it on top of the first one.
  5. Remove the frying pan from the oven and drape the pastry over the top of the onions, carefully tucking any excess pastry down the sides of the pan.
  6. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C and place the pan back into the oven. Cook for a further 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully placing a plate over the top of the pastry and flipping it over to remove the tart from the pan.
  8. Serve dotted with chunks of creamy chèvre and garnished with a little fresh rosemary.

TIP: We used Ceres Organics brand of coconut balsamic dressing from Woolworths, but you can make your own by using ¼ cup of coconut aminos and topping this up to ⅓ cup in total with balsamic vinegar.
